New Year a New Project

Actually it is an old one. I think I remember making the body parts sometime in 2006. I made three heads for her and did not like any of them. That is what happened before I gave up and put the project away for another day. Now I am tackling it with a renewed vigor. I hope this enthu (enthusiasm) lasts until I am all done. The mask I made for her might work so I decided to work on her clothes. This doll is my interpretation of Deanna Hogan's Avril. But mine might look completely different with due to the kind of joint I used on her. I do have one doll with the joints which Deanna teaches in her pattern.

The pattern for the doll and the clothes is stashed in my pattern and doll book box in the storage garage. I think this piece of cloth will work. This is just the first stage of applique. The stems went in first and I am working on the flowers now. Will post that picture soon. More later.
